Standing side by side
One foot near death,a tiny hope away from life
Num feelings I can't explain
Voices and passages in my brain
Roll your eyes, I know I'm forgotten
No one remembers the boring insane

The author's comments:
when someone tries to express themselves instead of being applauded they sometimes get treated as another person trying to be something like depressed, sad, lonely, like its a trend instead of feelings. feelings everyone is entitled to and has to deal with whether it be poem, art work, songs, raps, etc.

Some people will only listen to something flashy and ignore anything else

short and simple but makes you wonder if the "boring" ones are really forgotten. I like it a lot! :)
